@@floating_villger5818 It is true that sometimes systems fail, but as a pilot I can tell you that most crashes are due to pilot error, even a little research into NTSB accident reports will show that there was no fault in the aircraft.
I remember seeing the video of this the day it happened. Remember having a dream about a similar trijet crashing just a few days before this happened too and being shaken up about the whole thing.
FedEx Express Flight 80 was a scheduled cargo flight from Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport in the People's Republic of China, to Narita International Airport in Narita, Chiba Prefecture (near Tokyo), Japan. On March 23, 2009, the McDonnell Douglas MD-11F (N526FE) operating the flight crashed at 6:48 am JST (21:48 UTC, March 22), while attempting a landing on Runway 34L in gusty wind conditions. The aircraft became destabilized at flare and touchdown resulting in an unrecovered "bounced" landing with structural failure of the landing gear and airframe, and came to rest off the runway, inverted, and burning fiercely. The captain and first officer, the jet's only occupants, were both killed, After making an approximately 1,800-mile (1,600 nmi; 2,900 km) overnight flight from Guangzhou, China, the aircrew made an early morning approach to Narita Airport outside Tokyo. Other traffic landing just ahead of the accident aircraft reported "wind shear at an altitude of under 600 meters (2,000 ft)," and this information was relayed to the FedEx aircrew.[3] Surface winds at the time of the accident were reported from 320° at 26 knots (30 mph; 13 m/s; 48 km/h) gusting to 40 knots (46 mph; 21 m/s; 74 km/h). After making a hard landing on runway 34L, the plane bounced three times, coming back down on its nose gear first (a condition called "porpoising") resulting in the loss of directional and altitudinal control. The left wing struck the ground as the gear failed, causing the aircraft to veer to the left, burst into flames and invert as the airframe broke up, and came to rest upside down in the grass to the left of the runway. It took firefighters about two hours to extinguish the blaze, which completely destroyed the aircraft and its contents,The only people on board the aircraft were the Captain, Kevin Kyle Mosley, 54, of Hillsboro, Oregon, and First Officer Anthony Stephen Pino, 49, of San Antonio, Texas. Both pilots were removed to the Japanese Red Cross Narita Hospital (成田赤十字病院 Narita Seki Jūji Byōin) where they were pronounced dead. Captain Mosley, a former United States Marine Corps (1977-1983) fighter pilot, had been with FedEx Express since July 1, 1996 and had accumulated more than 12,800 total career flight hours, including 3,648 hours on the MD-11. First Officer Pino, a former C-5 Galaxy pilot in the United States Air Force (1981-2004), joined FedEx Express in 2006 and had accumulated more than 6,300 total career flight hours, 879 of them on the MD-11. Nobody on the ground was injured.

You know, the company operating these planes is called FedEx Express. Since FedEx is shorthand for "Federal Express", this means the airline's full name is "Federal Express Express". Redundant much?

Wrong. The company operating the airplane was not FedEx. It was contracted out to another airline called FedEx express.

It's kinda amazing that humans can bring down thousands of tons of metal on little baby wheels and not have most planes crash in a ball of fire. This accident is what you would expect to happen if planes weren't shockingly well-designed. Too fast, and too low, too quick. Thank goodness MD aircraft are (largely) a thing of the past.

They made good planes, but corruption at the upper management and some corners being cut led to some problems with some of their aircraft.

RIP TO THE 2 PEOPLE
Well done fellows!!
This is what google said: The accident was attributed by the JTSB to a series of "porpoising oscillations" that developed during touchdown, following a high sink rate during the final approach.
I remenber i lost my package in fedex flight 80 😭😭

All of that dramatic investigation and 'looking like a Mafia boss' postures just to discover that it was a hard landing, something you could easily get from the footage of the landing.
I know how it’s so hard to land.

The pilots were out there just laughing
wow, i was researching about this plane crash, and they have uploaded about it what a coincidence
2:00 聞き取りやすいと思ったのに〜
My thoughts are that every bounce weakend the landings gears on the 3rd bounce it gave way
i was questioning how they died, looking at the animation and the pilots acting in the cockpit, yeah i can see why.
😢❤This was my first thought when I
It was windy and they did not slow down the plan 😞
The back when down then when they tried to land it started jumping

I was in the air above Narita airport when this happened. I had guessed something serious had happened when I noticed an incredible amount of planes through our planes window by my seat. I said: "I think something is up. There are too many planes flying around us". The craziest thing for me was hearing a very surprising announcement at Narita once my plane landed. I remember seeing so many delayed indications on the boards (I was waiting for a connecting flight). A lady on airport radio announced that flights where delayed "because of a plane crash". At that point, I suspected something serious like a plane crashed happened but to actually hear the announcer use the 'C' word on official airport radio was shocking. The announcement was repeated many times at intervals after that first time but was adjusted by replacing "plane crash" with "an incident" in the following messages.
Me. And I seem to watch them more in the weeks before I'm going to fly somewhere. which I don't understand at all.
Wait so is this what happened to my fedex package?
Wow I wasn't there .oh that's why I didn't know about this
We are in an emergency
“Bro where’s my package”
there has to be one guy that still wants their package..
I just realized that the FedEx logo on engine #3 is reversed.
I can’t believe that they said “Yeehaw ride them cowboy”
SO THATS WHY IM STILL” WAITING FOR MY HOCKEY STICK

WHEN THE PLANE TOUCHES DOWN THE RUNWAY IT HAS 7 BUMPS AND THEN THE CO PILOT TURNS THE AIRCRAFT
I have just investigated:the fault was also of the pilots,the cause was there were many many mails that make them to crash,the pilots just putted the speed level to high in descent,the best plan was to give low mails then give some experienced pilots.

Air Canada Flight 143: Loss of both engines, Loss of electricity, Minor gear malfunction, Pilot had experience in gliding. *The “Other Pilots”:* Asiana Flight 214: Malfunction of the guiding lights that ensure the plane is on the correct course, Pilot attempted a go around, failed due to it being to late, tail was separated, minor causalities. Fedex Flight 80: Heavy winds caused the flare and decent to be unstable, plane proceeded to bounce during the landing due to the increased decent rate, pilots attempted to recover, failed.
